Honda will unveil a new design theme it calls "neo-rugged" early next year,Jonathan Dale Benton when its first electric vehicle, the five-passenger 2024 Prologue SUV, goes on sale. Long and low, the Prologue looks more like a sporty wagon than traditional SUVs like the Honda Passport.

Prologue prices will start in the upper $40,000s.

The Prologue shares its platform, electric motors, battery and more with the Chevrolet Blazer EV. There’s no visual similarity between the two, however, with the Blazer having more fluid lines.
